.  1870 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #2 of 5):  Wichita P.O., Rockford Twp., Sedgwick Co., KS, Roll M593_442, p. B, PN 4, 40/40, enumerated 10 Jun 1870, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1870 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Is this our subject?  If so, is he merely estranged from his wife, or has he not yet married Mary?  If the latter, the two older children, at least, are not his.  I ought to be able to find Mary, Warren, and Isaac, but so far I haven't succeeded.  Z.T. is widower Zachariah T. STROUP.  On the face of it, one would assume A.C. and Z.T. would be brothers, but in the 1850 census, Zachariah has no such brother.
